RAF Drone Controllers

Who can explain why RAF Drone Controllers wear a flying suit whilst sitting in a portacabin flying a drone? Flying suits used to be an expensive item of prtctive flying clothing. That's why they are called flying suits!
Also, and recognising that some Drone Controllers are current or retired RAF aircrew, why is it that drone controllers are sitting in a portacabin wearing a flying suit adorned by "RAF issued drone pilot wings" which look like the real thing, notwithstanding that they have never flown an aeroplane. One needs to be very sharp eyed to tell the difference between RAF pilot wings and RAF Drone controller wings!
This is an impersonation rant!
